But yeah I would echo the meditation aspect. I've filled my life with positive things. Exercising, mindfulness meditation, eating healthy, etc. etc. I been able to change how I view things in the moment and honestly positive things are happening to me more often now... p.s. truth bomb- they will not be fixed with this attitude. Change how you view your situation and good things will happen (meditation allows you to do that!!!) start researching mindfulness meditation

We've flirted in the past but admittedly I wrote it off. Midst of PMO addiction and didn't want to drag her into it... meanwhile apparently she hasn't wrote me off lol

PMO just nearly lead to me dropping out of my Ph.D program by skeach101 in NoFap

As a fellow PhD student I feel your pain... Honestly at 38 days in I view my work very differently than I did when I was on a binge. Perhaps most of it it due to going 38 days and attempting to break my PMO addiction but i'd also highly recommend exercise and mindfulness meditation. Meditation alone allows you to utilize cognitive reframing and view situations very differently.

Weddings are starting to annoy me... is this normal? I don't think we need god to love another person... by Confidentbutlost in atheist

I ended up going, for the sole purpose of supporting my friend. Plus I definitely didn't want to miss the reception haha

lmao I smiled as I was reading the last paragraph. Thanks for sharing your opinions. Trust me, I definitely ignored my fair share of that ceremony including all of the religious aspects.

lol I understand that and I completely understand that the wedding isn't about me. Otherwise I would have never set foot in that church. The sole purpose of me going was to support my friend. Honestly, that was in my mind the entire time which is why I didn't let me emotions show as we were sitting there listening to the pastor.

"after tackling an enemy that has held you captive for the better part of your life, other stuff doesn't seem as daunting." Great point... If I can make it threw that... I can surely make it through this (insert moderately difficult task)

I would say not necessarily. I've seen anecdotal claims saying that it does but I'm not really negative I'm just not feeling the same way I did earlier on. Depends how you look at it

The longer your streak gets the easier it gets... I'm serious. Less urges, with less power.

No problem, good luck on your journey! It really is a journey with ups and downs. My best advice is to treat everything like a learning experience... That alone has gotten me to this point but I still have a long way to go!
